Which couple of such different vehicles does belong to the same make?

Please quote make, albums and pages.

Genuinely glad to see you bouncing straight back with another question, yamilah! :-)
(Apologies that my repost to your last one was probably a little overly rude and verbose in its tone.)

Anyway, I can answer this one:
Tintin pinches and flies a Messerschmitt 109 in King Ottokar's Sceptre, pages 55 and 56.

And there's a Messerschmitt Kabinenroller portrayed in that big last car rally panel of The Red Sea Sharks (page 62). It's that little red bubble car near the top left-hand corner of the frame, with its aircraft-like Plexiglas canopy flipped open. (Now I'll have started you off on another Plexiglas thread!)

I knew this answer without having to trawl through the Tintin vehicle websites this time, as a late friend of my father once owned a red Messerschmitt bubble car just like that one, and would take us children for rides in it (one at a time, as the cockpit was narrow with just one spare seat behind the driver). My dad's friend was not unlike a Tintinesque professor, with a house full of half-finished mechanical and aviation projects, though he had an eyepatch which made him look more like an older version of Skut.

Which couple of such asunder vehicles does belong to the same make?

Is this even English? I don't even understand the question.

Good job, Balthazar!

Maybe you should start with reading the title of the question, then maybe you'll understand the answer?

Whilst you have a point, the difficulty isn’t the fact that putting part of the question only in the title is rather an awkward way of doing it, it is your use of the expression such asunder vehicles, which doesn”t make any sense.

This has now been corrected to use different instead of assunder, so it is all clear now, but perhaps it would have been more polite to ask Tintinrulz what the problem was before responding as you did.

Anyway, congratulations to Balthazar!
